The only thing that would make Gallo a better signing/ fit is if he signed for the vet minimum.
I doubt that happens.
Except we generally close games with AD at the 5
I wouldn't be mad with Serge, but I think Gallo makes more sense
Close with 2 of KCP, AC, Dennis, 3&d guard/wing like Wes and then Gallo, Bron, and AD
That does not matter.
Serge could still carve out 26 to 30 minutes of playing time (even if he does not close most games).
He would also provide you with an AD lite supplement (to close games) in the event AD were to foul out (or go down for a stretch).
If Serge has anything left in the tank (for equal pay) I don’t even see why this is a discussion.
Lakers did well with minimum C's, and they can do it again. I dont see Dwight getting any more money than he got (maybe like 3 mill or something) and they still have McGee. All they need from their C's is to play the 5 for the RS, spare AD and maybe do the same for the first round. After that, AD will play the majority of the minutes at the 5. You dont need Ibaka for the playoffs. I would even argue that having him and being forced to play him minutes in the playoffs when you might be better off with AD at the 5 hurts in some circumstances.
Youre right, it's not a discussion. Gallo>Ibaka normally. Gallo is especially>>Ibaka when it comes to the Lakers
